If you do the free 3-day trial, and then don’t subscribe immediately afterward, they may send you a 50% discount code to encourage you to subscribe, reducing the cost from $139 —> $70/year. (At least, this worked for me a few months ago.)
The most frustrating part of Speechify for me is that: a) big documents sometimes cause the app on my phone to crash (which is maybe more of a problem with my phone) and b) like Peter says, it will read random superfluous text, which is more of a problem with academic papers/books. (For instance, I’m listening to a 400-page book right now, and at the end of each page it says “Copyright 2023 University of Chicago Press, All Rights Reserved,” which got old around page 3.)
